Arldite :laugh:

tried superglue on the last one i had with the same problem but that didnt work.

Im thinking 2pac resin type stuff, so a good clean and then some arldite glue stuff will hopefully get me going again.

unless anyone has a better suggestion?

Cheers Venter, that stuff looks good.

BTW... you can remove the intermediate prop without draining the gearbox oil if the rear of the car is on ramps (or at least 20cm higher than the front). Dont just pull it out on the level as you will get covered in gearbox oil. So says the voice of experience :laugh:

Haha, thanks for the heads-up. I doubt that would be as much fun as it sounds!

Hi am new to the forum

Am wondering how can the reverse switch be modified from r72 to r7me gearbox? Is there an adapter available online or what can I do to ensure the reverse light worked after doing the swap. Thanks

it should just plug in, pretty sure the connector was the same or easy to adapt to.

The reverse switch on the r7me has wires with a white plug on the end. I cut that off and the same on the Jimny harness and got a pair of built connectors to connect both sets of wires together

Gold Jimny the best colour (sold) :(
